      ARREST OF TBS RBY . W . HILL , EDITOE OF THE " STAR , " Leeds Police Office , Friday , Twelve o'clock This morale ? , about a quarter past nine , my o-ood Friend , Mr . Hill , was arrested in the streets of Leeds , by two officers from Manchester on the authority of a -warrant issued by Mr . J F . Foster , J . P . and bactedby a Leeds Magistrate . The charge is , as far as I can ascertain ; r . r-e of " sedition / 5 arising out of words spoken

      ai some meeting or other , " tending to exite a breach of the Peace . " He was on his way to the Star-office , when he was pointed out to the Manchester police officers by one of the Leeds oncers , ^ }] Tvas 2 ccompanying them on their search . ) and brought to this place' without ^ t of his friends knowing of the arrest . While waiting for his presence at the Star-office , to prepare the second edition of the paper , it ¦ K-as intimated to me by a friend that Mr . Hill

      hzi teen seen to enter the Police-office , accomr . £ nied by two strangers ; and it was believed that he was in custody . I instantly repaired to the place , where I bow write , to ascertain if such was the fact . After waiting some little time , I « aw Mr . Read , the Chief Constable , and on my T . xiziizs tie quciric-n to him , he at once informed E-e that the fact was so . I then applied to see Mr . Hill : when Mr . Read informed me , that } -f was in the custody of the Manchester officers , who alone could grant my request ; and

      that they were then somewhere in the town procuring refreshment . " I therefore determined to await " their return , to make the request to them to be permitted to see my friend , before he is removed from this place to Manchester , which I expect Le will be in the course of the day . I Lave now waited an hour-and-a-half ; but the of : cers lave net made their appearance . 1 shall ¦ px it -until they do . zr . a communicate the result of mv ajriicaticn as scon a ? I learn it .

      ARREST OF T . B . SMITH . Star Office , Fifteen , minutes past One . I hare jnsi returned iron the police office , having kneed what was ihe sort of " refreshment ' "' the Manchester police officers had gone to proccre . They were absent on another arresting expedition ; and have j-si returned with Mr . T . B . Smith in custody , he beins apprehended on a similar charge , indeed incbi ? d in the same warrant with Mr . Hill . Mr . SiiiiH ws 3 taken at his own home , and his house was searchp . d by the officers , and aii papers or letters found there removed "ia custody '

      Hio . When Mr . Read had informed Inspector Tatlos , from Manchester , who I was , I made a formal application to be permitted to see ilr . Kill , before ha was removed from Le ; cs ; and he immediately replied that my rsqasst shonld be granted . I then asked " teJien ? " and his reply was '' Sometime in the cinrEB of the afternoon . " " Could it be now * ' ! was my next question ; and the answer to it " no ; no : just now : we have- some refreshment to get : bat yon shall see him before we start . " " Will % ou name a time V " Sometime sbou : three o ' clock . If you will be at Vne Star office , we will send on for you . "

      From this conversation , and especially from the fact of " refreshment " being still wanted by the Manchester men , I infer that they have more arrests to make in this town ; and that they were anxious to get them made , and the prisoners ail together , before they permit any of them to 09 seen by their friends . Mr . Bill has been kept in the " Stone jag'' since his arrest . He is not , however , placed amongst the other inmates of the wretched hole nsed as a prison ; but is considerately placed in the women ' s ward , ( which happened to be empty . ) which he has , ( till | ast now that Mr . Smith has joined hims ) occupied to himself .

      He and Mr . Sjoth , with any others ihat may be arrested , will be removed to Manchester this afternoon , I believe ; and be brought up for examination to-morrow , at the New Bailey Court . I shall go np to Manchester with them , or after them , for the purpeEe of procuring bail , cfes . I shall also attend the examination to-morrow , and communicate the rtinlt in an edition of the Star , to be pnblished in Lieds to-morrow evening . Josh . Hoesos .

      Northern Star Office , Friday , Quarter-pas t Tiro . I have just seen Mr . Hill . He was brought to this Office by the Manchester ( . Seers , accompanied by a Leeds police sergeant . He had been taken to his own residence , I believe , and his noose searched . When the party arrived here , Inspector Tatlob addressing me , said , that " they had found on ilr . Hill a- number-of keys

      ¦ Rhi ch he informed them opened certain drawers and boxes at the Northern Star office , and that he wished to see what was contained in them . ' I immediately answered the application by another question : " Have you any authority to come here to search ? Have yen a search warrant ! This place is Kiine . Whatever is here is in jit possession , and unless yon have authority to come here and search , I most assuredly shall not permit such aEearch to be made . In this cSce are a vast number of papers and documents of all kinds : and I shall not consent

      to their beiDg exposed to tne gaze of strangers , unless there i 3 authority to compel me . If you have a warrant , show it , and I will not resist yon : if you t&ve not , no search shall be made here . " On this , the Inspector said that " the locked drawers and boxes here , of which M r . Bill had the keys , were his ; sad it was those he wished to see . " My answer was , " whatever locked drawers or boxes are in this office , belong to the office ; and Mr . Hill has been entrnsted with the keys , because such drawerB or boxes are for the reception of those official docnffients , belonging the office , over which he had charge . But such documents are lo more his . than the books

      belocging the establishment are the property of the Clerk there , { pointing w > Mr . A bdill , ) who has-the charge of them . Whatever is in this office , or house , is rrane . If vou have any authority to search my house , show it , and go to work . If you have no authority , it cannot be done . " He then replied , 'I have no warrant : and if yoa objeci , of course I must retrain . " f-1 then asked if it was likely they would depart for

      Manchester thi 3 day ; and received for answer it w& ; possible they might not . I then asked , if such was the case , could bail be accepted for Mr . Hill ' s appearance in the morning ; for I should not like that he should iaTe to be kept in the Leeds " Stone Jcg" all night ; and the inspector said that he cou'd not accept bail , and the Magistrates would be gone from the Court . He , however , would endeavour to leave for Manchester to-night . . .

      After FhakiEg hands wi : h Mr . Hill , and after hearing from him that the alleged charre strains * him is for attending and speaking ai a meeting in Manchester on the 17 th of August last ; he was conveyed back to his quarters in the " Stone Jng , ccder a premise , from the officers , that I should be » Uowed to see him again before he is taken off to Manchester . Jos . Hobson .

      ARREST OF G . J . HARNEY . Star Office , , ^ Friday , Three 0 'Clock . I bare ju ^ t seen one of ihe guards of the North Midland Railway , and he informed me that Mr . G . J . Habket , of Sheffield * had been brought in the custody of a Manchester officer , by the test Derby train , to the Konnanton Station , -whence he would be taken to Manchester . Jos . Hobsok .

      ADDRESS OF THE COAL MINERS OF YORKSHIRE TO ALL CONSUMERS OF COAL . Ladies and Gentlemen , —We , the colliers of Yorkshire , humbly come before 70 a in the hope that yon will lend a kind ear to our distress , and give us that sympathy which we have a right to expect . We are driven only by want and misery to lay before the impartial reader the enormous injustice under-which we have for years been victims and sufferers . We have employed every means in our power to be kindly listened to by oar masters ; we nave applied to tbem , but to no purpose . We aro , therefore , compelled ~ by them to lay before the public our grievances . 1 st A reduction of wages to an alarming extent , so that we and our families are perishing for lack of foed . 2 nd . A great addition has been made to our day ' s work , but none to our wages ; ( the reverse ) we have as much coal to get in two days as we had formerly in three .

      3 rd . On account of the corves ( or waggons ) being continually enlarged , and our day ' s work increased , we hava only two or three days is the week ; the wages of two or three days is not sufficient to maintain us and our families through seven days . 4 th . Wb are obliged to work in water and da \ Ep places , so that we get rheumatism and all sorts of complaints ; and W 8 are obliged to work naked , er neariy 80 , on account of the hard and laborious empleyment we have to perform . 5 th . Getting coals by measure and selling them by weight ; tfeis is toe reason why they are continually enlarging the corTPs ; every new one that is made is larger than the old one . When they sold by measure they did not do so ; if they had , the public would have got the benefit ; but now that they pocket it all they are never quiet . Cth . Oar masters have turned off from their employment some of the delegates whom we chose to represent our erievances to them .

      The millions in our otvn country , without taking into account the miiiigns of foreigners , who are . through our labour , warmed every day , from the humblest being in our country to our gracious Qaeen , are little aware of all the misery , all the oppression , cruelty , and tyranny we are suljected to by our masters . The Negroes were never reduced to such subjection ; they had only to work a few honra in the open air-, whilst we white men , and , above all , Englishmen , cannot eee the sun some times fir weeks together except en Sundays , which is worse than any prison in the kingdom , and moro injurious to the human system than tbo solitary cell . We are even worse treated than the greatest criminals in the slave mines of Siberia , for t ! : cj hive plenty of food Riven to them ; they can walk and work erect ; all their mines are six feet high ;

      whilst we are crampsd and crushed into holes sometimes not more tban eighteen or twenty inches high and a yard wide , and are forced to work naktd in those low and narrow noles . When we enter tht bowels of the earth we eannot say that we shall sse our wives and families again ; we cannot run cut of the pits to save our lives ; we are forced to crawl on our hands and feet , the distance we have to go in r . nd out before we can reach tfee basket that took us down . There is no trade or profession that is bo much exposed to danger as that of the collier , and r . 9 man Btands more in need of eciucatisn and religion than the collier ; for no one is more suddenly snatched out of time into eternity . Unacquainted with the will of God and the laws of man ; ignorant , stupid , and wicked ; as he lives so ho dies , and his blood will be required

      at your hand . There are societies established for the education of the soldier and sailor , but none for the colliers ; institutions fer the support and education of the children and orphans of the soldier and sailor , is it so with the orphans of the collier ? We say not . The soldier may get a pension if he is wounded in battle , and ba entered into an hospital ; the sailor may bs rescued from a watery grave ; bnt the collier is doomed to die without eny one taking notice of him . He is more devoted to his country than either the soldier or sailor ; his iife is in jeopardy every moment , and strange to say , there is no reward for him ; bnt evtn bis master will reduce his wages if be « aa . He is doomed to be crushed to death by the recks , to be drowned , to be suffocated by the sulphureous gases , to be burned or scorched alive ; no one cs . n lend a helping hand to

      rescue him ; no one can see what is going on in the bottom of the pits . Loob ; oniy at the numerous accidents which are continually taking place , and you will shudder ; your blood will run cold at the horrible misery we have to suffer , for a small pittance , or a piece of bread . AH is not yet told , and were we to write until this day twelve months , more than one half would remain untold . Look at our children ; who takes care of them ? who gives them the food and education they are entitled to ? where are their schools ? where can they learn the laws of their Creator ? the laws of their country ? and the love of man ? They are brought up in slavery and ignorance ; they are worse treated than the children of the negro . Instruction is denied them ; they only go to the Sunday school , and even on that day they are so fatigued and

      tired that they cannot learn any , or even eujoy themselves . We may adti here , the bchoyl-masters universally describe the pit boy as always more drowsy and s ! eepy , as duller and more stup'd at learning , tban other boys ; as reading much worse than they formerly did before they went into the pits , and yet equally willing to learn . ( Commissioners' Report , p . 175 ; see alse the Times for the month of May last ) They are doomed to follow their fathers in ihe pits , and cra-wl where he cannot This country can never expect to see men fit to defend their Queen and country whilst treating them with such barbarity , and sendir . g them to the grave before it has been ordered I > y providence . It is our humble opinion , that it is impossible fcr us to bear up much longer under tfcs burden which pr ^ BEes so heavily upon us and our families , and which is fast hastening us to the grave , and which to exbauBts us ,

      that we can scarcely crawl home . Do we there meet with that comfort we are entitled to ? do we there meet with a table well stored with gcod and substantial food ? or even the commonest necessaries of life ? do we there find our famiiies well fed , and cecessary raiment to put on ? To all these questions we say no . If this was the case it wonld be some Bolace to onr ¦ weary , exhausted , axd emaciated bodies , writhing and agoniz ' cg with pain , on account of tho peculiar position , the cold damp air , and nauseous gases we have to labour mnder , and other evils too numerous to mention , which are injurious to the human system ; instead o * all this we find an an abode of poverty anil misery ; an empty table , or nearly so ; a care-worn sickly wife , and hungry , desolate , End half-starved children , crying for bread . Oh ! how heart-rending is the cry of starving children for bread .

      We make this appeal , not in onr own name , but in the name of our perishing families , who , through waat , are fast hastening to the grave , to appear before that God who has declared , enrsed is ha that witcholdeth the hire of the Iabcurer . " ( See also Eccleu , chap , iv ., ver . X ) To expect from our musters an increase of weges is out of the question , for we have tried it . We hope , by the exertion of our representatives i . Parliament , and the public , ve shall be rescued from further danger , by coming to 6 or help and giving us that relief we can

      get nowhere else , by sdding threepence to every ton of coals yoa pay for , for the benefit of the colliers . We have no other resource but tfcst or . s left ; and we hope that every one that has got a British heart , and hates oppression , will come to our relief . By such timely help we tihifi } be able to maintain oar families from starvation , and send them to school instead of the pits . We sinserely hope and trust that you will come one and all te onr assistance , and by your support remove the unparalleled distress unsier which we groan , and which has been fcorcs iritb unexampled patieac © and fortitude .

      Our masters have ears only for the sound of gold , Bmiling eyes for thoir customers , and feelings for themselves . We who send more gold into their pockets than any other trade are left to atarvein these pits , ten , twelve , and sometimes fourteen hours per day . Are Englishmen to suffar slavery to exist to such a an extent at home , whilst they frive millions of ponada and million * of Bibles to extirpate it from Asia . Africa , and America ; and send teachers to form schools in all parts of tha globe , whilst our own children are remaining in ignorance , and grovelling in the bowels of the earth , under one of tha most tyrannical and oppressive systems that evor existed ? We , who warm you every

      day , who expose our lives for you , you will certainly give us the trifle wa aek of you without hesitation . Remember , that through our labour , all the trade is carried on , all the manufactures ; all the steamers which bring riches from the remotest parts of the earth , are set iu motion by us . Romember us at your meal , and think if you could have had all thfrse comforts of life without the collier . Rarnember us ia the evening , wfeen the toils of tha day are over , and you are crjnylngthe benefit' of it good warm fire . Remember tbatwe are all brethren , and that the sams Creator sees our aufftrings , and will come to our help . Remember that He who gives to the poor and suffering , gives also to the rich . We , the Colliers of Yorkshire , pray that our Heavenly and Almighty Father may receive you amongst the just , and increase your happiness in this world .

SHEFFIELD . —Education . —On Monday evening last , Mr . Edwin Gill delivered an interesting lecture ou the subject of education , in the Chartist . Room , Figtree-lane . The followicg is an extract from air . G- '» discourse : — " We have h »> i great talk about national education in our time ; we bava been told that we may bless our stars that we were born in this enlightened country , in this the much-vaunted nineteenth century , the age of intellect , & . ; ., & ; -. Hearing these things , a stranger would supjjosu tKit this was the most enlightened , Christian , prosperous , and happy nation on

      the face of the earth . Let us see haw such titles will accord with England ' s preeent s : ate . We have an abundance of churches and chapels , and a noble army , Cu ! led-by-the-Gf ! ice-of-God parsons , as inBtructcrB , who receive £ 9 , 459 , 565 for tiieir labours . Then we have Sunday schools , charity ecqouIs , Lancasterian schools , and national schools , whoro orthodox and loyalty are crammed into the brain or thrashed iuto the breeches of the rising generation ; without mentioning the heterodox sects , such as Unitarians , ir ' re . sbytt'mns , Baptists , AnabaptistsWesleyan Methbdis ; s . Primitive Methodisto , and Church Methodists ; besides Quakers , Jumpers , and Shaker 3 , each sect having schools for the promulgation of its own doctrines , ia v / Lich loyalty and morality are combined . With such a number of public seminaries wo ought to he an enlightened people , and as far religion , what with the licensed and the contraband faiths , we but ly ought to bo a moral people , and if we take into consideration the enormous snois

      our education costs us , we must bj a wealthy people . But are we so—are we wealthy ? Let the bastiles be crammed to sufibeation with onr iisst artisans and mechanics , the numerous deaths iroia starvation , the suicides occasioned by povtiiy and wretuhbrintsg , the tide of emigration and tla ; t lists of bankruptcy answer ; and when in tiiaca like thei-a , we take into account the cost cf a royal visit , the splendid costumes of a retinue of noble sycophants , ( ' . inner services of gold , &c « and then see thy starving ¦ ' rabble , " the " swinish multitude , " as tha unfortunate poor are insolently called , Che aiiotlen 3 , naked , hungry pooplo throwing their hats in tho air , and calling on

      God to preserve their oppressor , to uphold that system of tyranny which like Iks poisonous upas tree is blasting their every hope , —I asltj have the people been rightly educatsd ? Morality is at an equally lovt _ di « - count , crime is said to be rapidiy on the increase . We are told that a great majority of the prisoners tried at tho BesBions and BSsiBes are not able to read or write , and a reverend divine has laid thnt there ara thousands " living without Goil , and -without hope , " how W 6 Jl the instructors of tho people have dons their duty 1 Well may they slug their old song over and over again every Sunday , " Wu have done the things we ought not to hava done , and left undone the things we ought to" have done " ! The thanku of the meeting were unanimously given to Mr . Giii for his excellent lecture .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Bbother Dehocrati . —No man can lay the charge to me that I am fond of faction—it matters sot whether that man belongs to the Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Association , to the Christian Chartists , to the Complete Snffrage Association , to the National Association , or to the National Charter Association , not a single member of any one of these dare accuse me of being factious . Therefore , I may safely investigate the document issued by the Complete Suffragists for convening the Conference on the 27 th December next . Every true Democrat must admit that there is the greatest necessity to convene a National Conference , but to make it a national one , what is the foundation on which it ought to be based ? Can it be called national when a faction is to have half the power at it ?—nay , more than half the power ; for , whilst London ,

      Manchester , Birmingham , and the towns of ihe greatest importance and most numerous population , are to be restricted to six representatives , and such very important towns as Nottingham , Leicester , Norwich , &c , are to be restricted to four , the small towns where themillowners have the greatest power can send two ; thus positively giving a doable power to the patriotic electors in the election of representatives . What poor man dare give an untrammelled vote on such an occasion , unless at the hazard of losing his employment , and eventually bringing destrnotion on himself and family ? But to investigate the conduct of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Association with impartiality , it is right that we should take a closer view of its conduct on the day it met iu Birmingham ; it did not allow strangers to be present at its deliberations . Yesterday , a gentleman called on me to inform me that he was ordered out

      of tue room , ana ihat when the report was brought up , wh ° n strangers were _ present on the day after-, wards , it was the intention of the parties to allow ihe electors the power to elect two delegates to the Conference , for the working men ' s one ; and but 'or ; Mr . Stephenson , of Worcester , such would have been carried . If such report be correct ( and I have every reason to believe it i 3 ; if it is not , I hope I shall be set right on the matter , as I should not wish io make any false stattments , tending to mislead the democratic party ) what conclusion can I possibly come to ? Can any working man—can any real Democrat come to any but the following—namely , that this party are not sincere . I am not cynic enough to condemn a whole body for the sets of one or a few of its members ; but when a deliberative body assumes to itself the power to concoct schemes for the advancement of Democracy , then tbp publio ought to scrutinize the act 3 of such men . What I

      propose to the Council of the complete suffragists is this , that , if they wish to have a bona fide representation of the people , namely , to reconsider their address snd take snch steps as will bring together the whole intelligence , talent , and strength of the popular party iEU > one great conference , they ¦ will limit the aggregate numbers of the Conference , say to 658 ; that they will divide the whole of England , Scotland , and Walts , into districts ; ihat according to ihe population in each district , delegates shall be elected ; that the people , the whole people , and neither more or less than the people , shall have the power : o elect the representatives ; such are the views I entertain on the election of Delegates to the Conference pretended to be National , to be held on December 27 ih , 18 i 2 . If the representation of the whole is not recognised and acted upon , I then in that case enter my most solemn protest against the convening of any such Convention , and denominating it National , and for tae following reasons ,

      viz—1 st . That it is false to call it a complete representation . 2 nd . That , if called , it has the appearance of faction . 3 rd . That it would be exactly as jast to allow any one sect in religion to have the power to elect a majority 10 the Conference as to allow the electors to do so ; and what I recommend the people to do , if the Complete Suffragists persevere in their factious opposition to a complete representation of the people , is this—to protest against such injustice . Let not the non-electors make the shadow of an attempt to elect a single delegate to the Conference j and in every district let the honest electors , who rrish to see the people fairly represented , attend the patriotic electors' meeiiDgs , and move an

      amendment to their electing delegates to the foDowing effect : —" That this meeting of electors entirel / disapprove of the one-sided , narrow-minded policy of the Complete Suffrage Council , in convening a Conference to be elected contrary to the true spirit of genuine democracy and real liberty ; and cannot , therefore , for a moment , entertain the idea ot at all iakingpartin aConvention soelected . " If ontheother hand the system of convening the conference be abandoned , and that of justice established in its place , then let every hand be at work to assist in so holy an undertaking ; let the wealth and wisdom of the Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Association be pnt into active operation on the occasion ; let the zeal of the Christian Chartists be actively employed to forward snch an object ; let the energies of the

      Complete Suffrage Association lend its assistance ; let the members of the National Association not lag in the good cause ; and let the whole force of our own great , powerful , numerous , and intelligent association be exercised on such a grand and noble object . To the people , I say , watch carefully all parties ; adhere to the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter ; and I repeat again , although I am not factious , and hate denunciation , yet every exertion on my p 2 rt shall be made to forward liberty , to establish even-handed justice , and , as far as I am able , thwart the designs of those who would make merchandise of the people , and keep np agitation to serve their own sinister ends . I have the honour to be , Your brother Democrat , John Campbell . 1 ^^^^ ,

      EXTRAORDINARY HUNT FOR £ 100 , OFFERED BYTHESPYMASTERS OF THE SECRET SERVICE MONEY . On Thursday morning week the village of Bacnp was the scene of a laughable farce , owing to a worthy Eon of E 3 calpius , who sleeps with his eyta open , making it known to the powers that be , that a notoriou ? Fox had stayed in Bacup all night ; accordingly the blood hounds wero laid on tho scent , and amongst them were the following noted does : — Harry Fourhole , a particular favourite , who ran for , and carried off the Odd Fellow ^ ' Stakes , amounting to £ 40 .

      Sergeant Nninskul ] , a devi ! for having a good nose , and keeping his wife out of the poorhouse . Nelfathcr , a Newfoundland dog , just iniported , who has given up an honourable and lucrative i rade to run in tho pick . Pe ' . er Simple , a dog nearly allied to the powers , that be , and a sure destroyer of young women ' s happiness , as there will soon be as many bastards of his r . s wi ! l make apack of hia own ; and Bieakcountry , a dog who is trying to signa !; z » 3 himself , but ha ? not brains sufficient , not being a licensed dog as yet , but it is hoped he soon will

      be ; best-ies a many others . After doubling , &c . they at last came to view ; but here another obstacle presented itself— who waa to take him ? One said , he has teeth ; another , claws ; a third , he carries pockets ; a fourth said the oldest in the service should have the honour of the death ; the eldest said the youngest should show his bravery . Howevtr , in this state of things they passed and re-passed their prey on the road , none of them daring to look on it , and'had it not been for two sheep dogs , in the shape of two carters , which they charged to help , the priz 3 would have remained untouched .

      iint oh , what will tho world say , when it is made known that the consternation of the pack was bordering on despair , wken they were informed very civilly that thoy wore not hunting Dr . M'Douall , but that the person whom they were kindly pleased to escort on the road was no other than Mr . William Beesicy , of Accriugton , en route to Todmorden , to attend a Chartist meeting , to which place he very kindly invited them ? Ha , ! ha ! ha Bacup dog ., have t ; ood noses ! Whac will you take for your piiis , Tom ?

      THE SPECIAL COMMISSION . y % / <^ ~ ' ~ 7 ( From our own Correspondent . J Stafford , ThCesdat . —On next Saturday another Monmoutb . scene" will be re-enacted here . On that day Judges Tindal and Parke , who presided at the Special Commission at Moumouth in 1839-40 , will , aided by Sir Robert Mounsey Roifr , open the commissioa here for the trial of 244 wretched beings , whoce greatest , if not only , crime h poverty .

      poor fellows even within the walls of their dungeon , bear aught but the appearance of men who would transgress the . laws of their country . Their conduct in prison is lauded by the governor and the visaing magistrates , as exemplary and truly praiseworthy . Tho most melancholy spectacle is that whioh . pre ^ seats itself outside of the gaol , which 19 surrounded by the sorrowing wires and children oi the prisouer 8 whose haggard countenances aud tbreadworn garments indicate suffering , misery , povercy , and rags , beyend description . They may be t < . uiy culled " a houseless , clotheless , and breadless crowd , " to whom death ought to be a thousand times more acceptable than life .

      The prosecutors under the special commission make no concealment of their intention to vein all their spleen and direct all their power of vindicating the law against such prisoners a 3 ar . j acknowledged ChauiBts . Amongst those who are ihus marked oufc as-victims to be made examples of , are Thomas Cooper , who is thus described iu the oalendar " Age 3 ? ; reads and . writes superiorly . He is committed fur inoiting and persuading a great number of people to assemble and gather together , and riotously and tumultuously orta'Jng" & f , reat noise and disturbance on the 15 th August , 1842 , at the parish of Stoka-upon-Trent . " Arthur O ' - Noil , " aged 22

      reads and writes well ; for inciting and causing a great number of persons to assemble and gather to-, ¦ gethrrto disturb the public peace , on the 26 th Aug .. 1242 , at the parish of Rowley Regis . " And William Ellis , " aged 32 ; who reads and writes-well ; for having , with divers other persons , on the 16 h of August , 1842 , and on other days , at the parish of Burslem , traitorously compelled , imagined , and do vised , and intended to levy war against her Majesty , in order to force and compel her said Majesty to change her ' measures and counsels . " That the persecutors intend making a good harvest of the affair may be judged of by tho fact that in some cases tho briefs for counsel contain fifty sheets .

      liio prisoners ' complain muohof the usual course beiag deviated from by the appointment of looal a . ' . iornies to prosecute for offences alleged to be committed in their peculiar localities ; thid , tlicy ^ ay , will afford an opportunity for the indulgence of porsunai hostile feelings . The prisoners would sooner commit themselves to the tender mercies of the Crown officors , than to be thus suLjeoted to the merciless treatment cf men for whom they entertain Lie most natural abhorrence . Nothing so clearly proves the low wbterfugfs to which certain lecal functionaries had recour . < - for committals as a recital of tha ohargos under whioh many of tho prisoners stand committed . Upon reading them ,, the public will justly

      exclaim" What ! a Speoial Commission to try fcueh offerees , which could bo better punished summarily by the magistrate , than lat ' t to be disposed of by a Sjanid Commission , at an enormous expeuce to the country !" The charges alluded to ara as follows : — -Joseph Broster , tor stealing four and sixpence ; H-. 'nry Howard , stealing a Look ; George bhaw , Btealin . ^ a sliiri ; Kriward Adains , demanding the sum of eixpnuce ; William Prince , stealing one tame rabbit ; Williams Nappcr , John Hulme , Smith Cnild , Wm . Plant , Thomas Adams , and David Parkes , demanding thefcum of ODe shilling ; Samuel Lockett , demanding the sum of sixpence ; John Hall , deinauding the sum of sixpence ; James Wooley , demanding the sum of sixpence ; ; : nd Elizabeth Bryan , stealing one . picture frame . Now , if those otfencea were brou » lu before one of our Metropolitan Magistrates , hs would either dismiss the charge , or , at

      most , taking the circumstances into consideration , would soiid the accused for a week or a fortnight to prison . Exclusive of the prisoners ' thus , committed for the aprciai Commission , there are 189 to be tried at the Sessions , the enormity of whose ofLnces may be judged" of by the simple given of tha commitments lor the . Commission . It is pretty clear by the cia ^ Kifiuation of the prisoners by Mr . BruUon , the governor of the gaol , that they are i / ot the uneducated ret ' which it is bo much the object of the Whigs and Tories to represent them as beiu >? . The ub joined is the classification returned by the governor , viz .: — Prisoners who can read and write superiorly 1 Ditto , read and write well ... ... ... 27 Ditto , read and write imperfectly 50 Ditto , read well ... .. ... ... 5 Ditio , read imperfectly ... ... ... 73 Ditto , who-can ' neUher read or write ... 59 Ditto , ob bail 25
